"Over the last 3 years I have been involved with multiple ministries inside of the church. I frequently usher on Sunday mornings, I am apart of a young adults ministry, I intern within the church and I have even started a discipleship group. After years of serving inside the church, I feel comfortable doing just about anything that is requested of me; whether it be praying for people, preaching a sermon, leading someone to know the Lord as their Savior.
One day this past summer the Lord started stirring up something in my spirit that made my passion for reaching the lost come alive. This past Saturday February the 18th was my first time in 3 years that I was able to walk out the desires that were in my heart. A group of guys in the discipleship group, that I am a leader in, came together and joined with "A Church Without Walls" ministry and walked that out.
At first we got there and it seemed like we were just there to feed them and pass out some cloths. After a few minutes my heart started to ache. I thought to myself "this seems like something we would go overseas and do on a missions trip". Then it hit me...this is the reality of these homeless people and they are right here in our own backyard!!!
I saw Jimmy walk off and started praying for a guy and I followed his lead. I had the chance to build a relationship with 3 people and pray for them and their needs. One lady that I prayed for had a broken ankle. After praying for her she said that she felt her ankle get better. It blessed me so much to be able to be apart of a ministry that is being the hands and feet of Jesus. Thank you Jimmy for allowing the practical Faith discipleship group to join you on this mission. We hope to partner with you again soon"
